Usually we don't write about the business aspects of the video game business. Bow-ring! But this time of year stories about investment opportunities in the new year can't be avoided. Normally, I wouldn't invest my own money in gaming stocks — most of them are dogs. But I've come across a bunch of stories in recent days that recommend some of the stronger companies in anticipation of the buying spree usually brought on by the introduction of a new generation of consoles.
In particular, I've seen Electronic Arts and Activision get good recommendations. They've been spanked in recent months by the slowdown of software sales, but they write software for almost all platforms (hence, not hitching their fortunes to one machine), have excellent franchises and have the best management teams.
Like I said, I wouldn't invest my own money in gaming stocks. Way too cyclical for my taste.
